St Bernadine's

1 * Tampa +140
I make this play with the Minn play in mind. These two are splitting at least, earning us a profit--which is the name of the game. The games actually line up in a similar fashion. TB is a completely different team at home and have had Lester's number. Red Sox nation, with Lester on the hill, has this number inflated a bit. Give me a home team who is 21 games over .500 at home, having beaten Lester their last 3 times out, vs. a team under .500 on the road ANY DAY. The fact that we get such a juicy number is simply icing on the cake.
1* NYY -175
Throw numbers out the window here. The Yankees are the best team in baseball PERIOD. I flirted with the RL here to save some juice, but I have been snakebitten lately when it comes to 1 run wins when I play the RL.
It should not matter here. NYY bats will be alive as always, and Burnett will wake the hell up.
